Some of those issues were reported a long time ago and they probably refer to Symfony versions that are no longer maintained. Others would have been fixed but not closed and there could also be some duplicates. That's why we ask your help to review all the pending issues in order to close irrelevant issues and achieve much more manageable levels: 500 issues or less for symfony/symfony and 100 issues or less for symfony/symfony-docs.

If you're interested in helping out, they've included a few steps to get you started locating and claiming an issue for you to work on. They also make suggestions on how to report back issues found on bugs, feature requests and general discussion items.
